Mt. Edith Cavell and Athabasca Falls

We drove to Golden, BC, where we had a rental house, through Jasper National Park. We were going to go back to Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Banff National Park later. On the way down, we passed Mt. Edith Cavell and Athabasca Falls.

On the way to Angel Glacier at Mt. Edith Cavell


Looking back in the valley and the trail


Angel Glacier


The scale is massive - here's some perspective - can you see the (idiotic) people in the ice cave under Angel Glacier?


Gorgeous glacier stripes


Athabasca Falls. They tell me I was here 30 years ago, but I do not remember these falls. I do remember Mt. Edith Cavell, mainly because I thought it was a strange name, but I also remember the 3 glaciers there and the tilt of the rock.


The other side of the falls. There is a LOT of water going through a little channel.


After we left and started on the Icefield Parkway, this friendly fellow decided to cross right in front of us. It was the only bear we saw on the trip. (thank goodness)
